New Delhi: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday placed a motion to seek a vote of confidence in the assembly. The discussion on this motion will happen tomorrow, and the House has been adjourned until then.
While speaking in the assembly, Kejriwal said, “This so-called liquor scam is not a scam at all. They (BJP) do not want to carry out an (fair) investigation. All the AAP leaders have been arrested under the guise of this scam. Their only aim is to topple the Delhi government by one means or another.”
This is the fifth Budget session of the seventh Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
The motion in assembly came days after the Enforcement Directorate once again summoned the Aam Aadami Party (AAP) chief, for the sixth time, in connection with an ongoing investigation into the now-scrapped liquor policy.
Kejriwal, who has denied any wrongdoing, alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party tried to poach AAP MLAs and topple his government using law enforcement agencies.
Kejriwal has been asked to appear before the central probe agency on February 19. Previously, he was summoned on February 2, January 18 and January 3 this year, and on December 21 and November 2 in 2023.
